no, im so not. And you my friend should be cleaning!

I am! What's wrong with looking at my favorite messageboards?😛

Again? Are you like lapping your room? 😛

uhhh...?

Going somewhere then coming back to your room... you are predictable. 😈 VERY predictable.

Lunatic Asylum for you! 😛

Bet you didn't predict this!!!!

NO LUNATIC ASYLUM FOR ME!!! DAMN YOU!!🙁

this is still here

Yup... pretty sad huh? We've been trying to get the last post for like... 5 pages. Now, it's become the thread of random. Wonder when anyone'll notice?

😄😄😄😄😄😄😄!!!!!

Yay, fun pictures.

You are addicted...

...that makes you a lunatic... 🙁 😛

Had it since the 7th

Mmmm don't we know... 😛😉

Haha... 😉

Silly Kozzy...

go to that site and there is a DivX rip of the TRc telesync so u dont have to download like a gig of movie and 4 those who have no ****ing idea what i said read this

CAM ::
A cam is a theater rip usually done with a digital video camera. A mini tripod is sometimes used. Due to these factors picture and sound quality are usually quite poor, but sometimes we're lucky.

TELESYNC (TS) ::
A telesync is the same spec as a CAM except it uses an external audio source (most likely an audio jack in the chair for hard of hearing people). A lot of the times a telesync is does in an empty cinema or from the projection booth with a professional camera, giving a better picture quality. Quality ranges, check the sample b4 downloading the full release.

TELECINE (TC) ::
A telecine is a machine that copies the film directly from the reels, in correct a/r and is the best theater transfer you can do. A great example is the JURASSIC PARK 3 TC done last year. TC should not be confused with TimeCode , which is a visible counter, mainly visible on UK Screeners.

SCREENER (SCR) ::
A pre vhs tape, sent to rental stores, and various other places for promotional use. A screener is supplied on a vhs tape, and is usually in a 4:3 (fullscreen) a/r. the main draw back is a "ticker" (a message that scrolls past at the bottom of the screen, with the copyright and anti-copy telephone number). Some screeners can be excellent, some can be poorly transferred.

DVD-SCREENER (DVDscr) ::
Same premise as a screener, but transferred off a DVD. Usually in correct a/r , but without the extras that a dvd retail would contain. The ticker is not usually in the black bars, and will disrupt the viewing. If the ripper has any skill, a DVDscr should be very good.

DVDRip ::
A copy of the final released DVD. If possible this is released PRE retail (for example, Harry Potter) again, should be excellent quality.

VHSRip ::
Transferred off a retail vhs, usually reserved for porn these days.

TVRip ::
TV episode that is either from Network (capped using digital cable/satellite boxes are preferable) or PRE-AIR from satellite feeds sending the program around to networks a few days earlier (do not contain "dogs" but sometimes have flickers etc) Some programmes such as WWF Raw Is War contain extra parts, and the "dark matches" and camera/commentary tests are included on the rips.

WORKPRINT (WP) ::
A workprint is a copy of the film that has not been finished. It can be missing scenes, music, and quality can range from excellent to very poor. Some WPs are very different from the final print (Men In Black is missing all the aliens, and has actors in their places) and others can contain extra scenes (Jay and Silent Bob) . WPs can be nice additions to the collection once a good quality final has been obtained

DivX Re-Enc ::
A DivX re-enc is a film that has been taken from its original VCD source, and re-encoded into a small divx file. Most commonly found on filesharers, these are usually labled something like Film.Name.Group(1of2) etc. Common groups are SMR and TND. These aren't really worth downloading, unless you're that unsure about a film u only want a 200mb copy of it. Generally avoid.

News Sites ::
There are generally 2 news sites, and im allowed to be biased 🙂 For Games/Apps/Console :: www.isonews.com is generally regarded as the best, but for VCD/SVCD/DivX/TV/XXX www.vcdquality.com displays screen grabs and allows feedback. **NOTICE** neither site offers movie downloads, and requesting movies/trades etc on the forums of either is NOT permitted.

VCD ::
VCD is an mpeg1 based format, with a constant bitrate of 1150kbit at a resolution of 352x240 (ntsc). VCDs are generally used for lower quality transfers (CAM/TS/TC/Screener(VHS)/TVrip(analogue) in order to make smaller file sizes, and fit as much on a single disc as possible. Both VCDs and SVCDs are timed in minutes, rather than mb, so when looking at an mpeg, it may appear larger than the disc capacity, and in reality u can fit 74min on a CDR74.

SVCD ::
SVCD is an mpeg2 based (same as dvd) which allows variable bitrates of up to 2500kbits at a resolution of 480x480 (ntsc) which is then decompressed into a 4:3 aspect ratio when played back. Due to the variable bitrate, the length you can fit on a single CDR is not fixed, but generally between 35-60 mins are the most common. To get a better SVCD encode using variable bitrates, it is important to use multiple "passes". this takes a lot longer, but the results are far clearer.

XVCD/XSVCD ::
These are basically VCD/SVCD that don't obey the "rules". They are both capable of much higher resolutions and bitrates, but it all depends on the player to wether the disc can be played. X(S)VCD are total non-standards, and are usually for home-ripping by people who dont intend to release them.

RealMedia (RM) / ASF / nAVI etc ::
Very small files that are mainly pointless to encode to. ASF was kind of a pre-comer to DivX, and RM is still used for streaming, and people with modems. nAVI is a "hack" of DivX and not used by a lot of people. All these formats are PC based and cannot be played on standalone players.

DivX ::
DivX is a format designed for multimedia platforms. It uses two codecs, one low motion, one high motion. most older films were encoded in low motion only, and they have problems with high motion too. A method known as SBC (Smart Bitrate Control) was developed which switches codecs at the encoding stage, making a much better print. The format is anamorphic and the bitrate/resolution are interchangable. Due to the higher processing power required, and the different codecs for playback, its unlikely we'll see a DVD player capable of play DivX for quite a while, if at all. There have been players in development which are supposedly capable, but nothing has ever arisen. The majority of PROPER DivX rips (not Re-Encs) are taken from DVDs, and generally up to 2hours in good quality is possible per disc.

DVD-R ::
Is the recordable DVD solution that seems to be the most popular (out of DVD-RAM, DVD-R and DVD+R). it holds 4.7gb of data per side, and double sided discs are available, so discs can hold nearly 10gb in some circumstances. SVCD mpeg2 images must be converted before they can be burnt to DVD-R and played succesfully. DVD>DVDR copies are possible, but sometimes extras/languages have to be removed to stick within the available 4.7gb.

MiniDVD ::
MiniDVD/cDVD is the same format as DVD but on a standard CDR/CDRW. Because of the high resolution/bitrates, its only possible to fit about 18-21 mins of footage per disc, and the format is only compatable with a few players.

Regional Coding ::
This was designed to stop people buying American DVDs and watching them earlier in other countries, or for older films where world distribution is handled by different companies. A lot of players can either be hacked with a chip, or via a remote to disable this.

RCE ::
RCE (Regional Coding Enhancement) was designed to overcome "Multiregion" players, but it had a lot of faults and was overcome. Very few titles are RCE encoded now, and it was very unpopular.

Macrovision ::
Macrovision is the copy protection employed on most commercial DVDs. Its a system that will display lines and darken the images of copies that are made by sending the VHS signals it can't understand. Certain DVD players (for example the Dansai 852 from Tescos) have a secret menu where you can disable the macrovision, or a "video stabaliser" costs about £30 from Maplin (www.maplin.co.uk)

NTSC/PAL ::
NTSC and PAL are the two main standards used across the world. NTSC has a higher framerate than pal (29fps compared to 25fps) but PAL has an increased resolution, and gives off a generally sharper picture. Playing NTSC discs on PAL systems seems a lot easier than vice-versa, which is good news for the Brits 🙂 An RGB enabled scart lead will play an NTSC picture in full colour on most modern tv sets, but to record this to a VHS tape, you will need to convert it to PAL50 (not PAL60 as the majority of DVD players do.) This is either achieved by an expensive converter box (in the regions of £200+) an onboard converter (such as the Dansai 852 / certain Daewoos / Samsung 709 ) or using a World Standards VCR which can record in any format.
